Gospel singer Albertina Walker, 81, died today (on Friday) in a Chicago hospital after a long struggle with emphysema. Walker began singing in the choir at the age of 4 at the West Point Baptist church. She would become a mentor to Mahalia Jackson and form the legendary gospel act the Caravans. During the 1980s, she released 1988's Best Is Yet To Come and 1989's My Time Is Not Over.
